Stadl-Paura, a small market town on the Traun river in Upper Austria, issued this Notgeld during the acute small-change famine that gripped the former Habsburg territories after 1918. The collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monetary system left municipal authorities scrambling to fill denominations the new Republic could not yet supply in sufficient quantity — hence thousands of locally printed emergency issues from villages that had no business printing money.
The 70 Heller denomination is an odd one, chosen more by local arithmetic than any standard scale. Stadl-Paura's issues are among the less-documented Upper Austrian Notgeld, surviving primarily in collector sets rather than through any record of heavy circulation.
